Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Theological Works of William Beveridge, D.D, Vol. 6: Sometime Lord Bishop of St. Asaph As to the Most High God, our blessed Saviour hath fore warned us, to love Him with all our heart, with all our Matt.22.37. Soul, with all our might, and with all our mind, to fear ch. Him, and none but Him, to believe and trust on Him, John 14. 1. To seek His Kingdom, and the righteousness thereof in Matt. 6. 33. The first place, and to worship Him in spirit and in truth, John and the like. And as to men, He hath enjoined not to judge others, Matt. 7. 1. Not be angry or passionate with one another, especially ch. 5. 22. Without a just cause, but to] love one another as He hath John 15. 12. Loved us yea, to love our very enemies to be obedient Matt. 5. 44. To magistrates to be charitable to the poor to be just and righteous unto all. Indeed, whatsoever duty it is that 11: we owe to one another, He hath somewhere or other in His Gospel most clearly described it to us. And that we may always keep ourselves within the bounds of equity and justice, He hath given us here in the words of my text a short and comprehensive rule, easy to be kept always in our minds, whereby to order all our actions towards one an other, saying, Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the Law and the Prophets. Which words we must not look upon only as containing good advice, and wholesome counsel and direction for the ordering of our lives and conversations, but we are to esteem them to be what really they are, even an express command which Christ enjoins all His disciples punctually to observe, as the standard of all our civil actions; and that whereby He will examine and weigh them all at the day of judgment. So that all our actions to one another shall be either approved of, or condemned, according as they are, or are not conformable to this rule. For this, our Saviour Himself here tells us, is the Law and the Prophets that is, not only, as some would have it, what the Law and the Prophets teach, but it is the sum and substance of whatso ever is required in the Law and Prophets, as to our carriage and behaviour to each other; it. Being the same, in effect, with that general precept of the Law, Thou shalt love thy Lev, 19, 18 neighbour as thyself, which St. Paul tells us is the ful Rom. 13.
